Veteran’s Day

One of our volunteers is sorting through a box of American Legion Auxillary records

“At a meeting of the President’s Committee on War Relief control held in Washington, D.C. on March 30, 1943, that Committee, at the request of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, requested the American Legion and Records for our Fighting Men, Inc to carry out a second campaign for old records. The Armed Services need new records, they cannot buy those new records without old records being turned in. The recording companies cannot make new records without old ones from which to obtain material.”….from American Legion Headquarters.
